Family ties

There will be a family reunion of sorts tonight when Largo plays Dunedin. Dunedin's Adaris Bellamy and Mike Towns are cousins to Largo's Leonard Johnson and Brynn Harvey. And Dunedin defensive back coach Frank Lang is a cousin of the talented foursome. "It's going to be special because all these boys are tight," Lang said. "They have a good friendship, but tonight will be a different story when the pads go on."

Schedule: Diving at 4 p.m. today at Northeast's pool. Swimming prelims are from 9 a.m. to noon at North Shore. The finals are at 4:30.

Admission: $5 for the prelims and the finals.
